I decided to explore Gliffy and bubbl.us because they appeared to be the most kid-friendly at first glance. Because my standard is second grade reading, I didn't want to choose the other two selections because the example flowchart and mindmap looked a little too advanced for seven year old kids.
I looked at the "Lady Gaga Adoption" example at the Gliffy website. It seemed pretty easy to add new bubbles or boxes and to add text to those boxes. I liked that the two examples on Gliffy were very different styles. The first example was more structured and formal, while the Lady Gaga example was a bit more casual.
I liked bubbl.us because it was easy to use - the directions for creating the mindmap were directly on the page! I also liked that it was colorful and easy to understand. I think second grade students would be able to read and understand a mindmap that was created with bubbl.us.
